258 L. de Niceville — List of the Butterflies of the Ke Isles. [No. 2, 



Island " as M. gylippa in Ann. and Mag. of Nat. Hist., sixth series, vol. 

 xii, p. 255 (1893), collected by Halliburton. Swinhoe does not refer 

 to H. const antia in his description. Oar females from the Ke Isles 

 agree very well with Cramer's original figure of that sex, which was 

 described from the Molucca Isles. 



Subfamily ElymniinjE. 



18. Elymnias (Byctis) melane, Hewitson. 



Rare on all the islands, usually seen flying about swampy places in 

 the jungle. 



Subfamily Nymphalin^. 



19. Cupha crameri, Felder. 



Common everywhere on Little Ke, but more so in forests than 

 elsewhere, flying close to the ground between low bushes. Our speci- 

 mens agree fairly well with Cramer's figures of this species from 

 Amboina in Pap. Ex., vol. ii, pi. cxlviii, figs. D, D (F, F in text), male 

 (1777), as " Papilio" lamjpetia. Dr. Aurivillius says that these figures 

 equal the " Messaras" crameri of Felder, nee "Papilio" lampetia of 

 Linnaeus, as indeed was pointed out by Dr. Felder when renaming 

 Cramer's figures. 



20. Atella egista, Cramer. 



From Little and Great Ke. Flies high and is seldom caught; 

 keeps to the tops of bushes. 



21. Cethosia cydalima, Felder. Plate I, Figs. 2, larva ; 2a, head 

 of larva ; 26, 2c, pupa. 



Rober. Ke Dulan, Butler, as G. insulata, Butler. Ribbe as 

 C. cydippe, Linnams, var. damasippe, Felder. Dr. Butler in Cist. Ent., 

 vol. i, p. 165, n. 37 (1873), described G. insulata from Ke Island. He 

 does not give the sex of the types. It is probably the same as G. cyda- 

 lima, originally described from the Arru Islands. The species on Little 

 and Great Ke is not common, but is less rare at the beginning and end 

 of the wet than at other seasons. Mr. Kuhn has bred it, the larva being 

 of the usual form, with six compound black spines on each segment, the 

 dorsal pair twice as long as the two lateral pairs ; the ground-colour of 

 the larva deep black, each segment posteriorly with a pair of sulphur- 

 yellow bands reaching below the spiracles. The pupa is whitish, clouded 

 with pale brown, with four pairs of golden spots on the dorsum.
